The man slowly realized she needed help (Video)

Dave was driving down a country road when he saw a herd of cows in a field in Millbrook, Ontario. They were all cooling off by the water on a hot day, so Dave got out of his car to admire the animals. That’s when a man stopped to film the cows in the nearby green pasture. Everything felt completely normal until he noticed a cow approaching him. He assumed that the cow was just curious about him, but after a while, he wondered if there was more to it. The cow, called Flo, was separated from Dave by an electric fence so he felt safe, but Flo kept mooing at him and scraping the ground by the fence. He slowly realized she needed help.

Her persistent moo’s made him curious, so he stepped closer to her. Leading him to the fence, he suddenly realized what she had been desperately trying to tell him. Flo was anything but happy when she delivered a calf only to have it slide down and under the electrical fence and become trapped outside the field and away from her. He noticed her calf lying in the hot sun, stuck on the other side of the fence. He saw the umbilical cord and realized the calf had been born that day. How long it had been trapped he didn’t know, but it was dry and needed milk. Dave was worried that going near the calf would upset the cow but he decided to try and help.

He used a stick to lift the electric fence but it was still concerning when the cow began to kick dirt up with her front hoof as she watched him handle her baby. “He is no brave farmer and wires won’t stop an angry momma,” said a video caption. Dave and the calf were both getting shocks, but Dave finally managed to get the calf through the fence. Dave bravely persevered and eventually managed to reunite the calf with its happy mommy. It’s lucky that Dave stopped to admire the cows, otherwise who knows how long the calf could have been stuck on the other side of the fence. Dave went to tell the farmer, who came and checked on the calf and tagged its ear. It was in good health. Later on, the two cows seemed to recognize Dave and the calf wandered up to Dave for a curious sniff, as did Flo.
